Detailed Reviews
We enjoyed the convenient location, close to a supermarket, an ATM and restaurants, with an easy access to Jo-burg attractions and activities. Our room was quiet, spacious, tastefully decorated with African curios, with comfortable beds, and double doors opening on our own little private garden. We enjoyed pleasant chats with our hosts who were helpful and always willing to share information. We loved the beautifully kept property with its trees, flowers, birds, and fountain with koi and goldfish. Best sleep I've had in all our trip!

Hi Isabelle and Sam Good to know you got home safely. It was a great pleasure to have you stay with us at the end of your trip to SA. We are blessed with good weather and do tend to live outdoors as much as we can. We love gardening and it gives us great pleasure to see things grow! Thank you for your review and we look forward to seeing you again soon! Warm regards Marelyn & Ron

Marelyn and Ron have a beautiful place, they’re lovely people who make you feel right at home. The rooms are well appointed with everything you could possibly need during your stay. The location makes it easy to get pretty much anywhere in Joburg and it was great to come back to after a hectic day.

B&B is in a green environment. Each room has its own lush garden. Have breakfast in a quiet environment. Marelym and Ron are pleasantly entertaining owners with whom you can have a good conversation about anything and everything. In short, a good place to stay in Johannesburg and definitely recommended.

Lovely place to stay in Linden with numerous restaurants/coffeeshops/supermarket/chemist etc. within walking distance. Well appointed with friendly, attentive and helpful hosts. Spotlessly clean. Secure and quiet. Minor negatives if staying for longer periods (we stayed some weeks) are small, highly-mounted TV's, lack of kitchens (but do have microwaves and coffee/tea-making trays), and tight parking if one has more than one or a larger SUV-type vehicle.
Overall, would recommend strongly and will stay again when next in the area.

Thank you for choosing US!! This trip was a long time in the planning. It was such a pleasure having you stay with us on your trip back to SA. We enjoyed your company and are glad that you got to know all the local facilities nearby. Linden has changed over the years into a vibey, close knit community with many restaurants and coffee shops and general facilities.. and we are lucky enough to have them all within 2 blocks of us! Hamba Khlahle and we hope you return soon. Warmest regards to down under. Ron & Marelyn

We decide to overnight at the Cherry Tree Lodge, when attending a family function
The feedback is not about the 2 owners, they are special people in the prime old age of life and a inspiration to all in term of energy, passion, and making you feel welcome
The facilities are old and dated and not keeping track with the modern South African feel and the changing market. The rooms are ill equipped with dated mugs, tv, bathroom, and basic essential lacking quality e.g. Coffee, tea, water etc
The "continental breakfast" lacked freshness and variety with fresh pasties and muffins not avail but rather supplemented with defrosted pastries. The cold meats were a slimy pack of ham past it due date and that was it
If we rate the owners, they are sweet and friendly and would get 4/5
If we rate the venue, facilities, value for money , and relevance to the need for good quality B & B in Linden, I would give them a 2/5
They need to freshen up the place or loose business as better quality alternatives are avail and the same price around the corner.
Three stars for the place is generous!!

We take your kind words in the spirit that they were meant .. (but we do know we are well past our “sell by” date) and do apologise for not coming up to your expectations. We have been keenly aware of our shortcomings, and have not been idle, but we had to decide this year to prioritise the upgrades of what we considered the more important issues. 1. On your departure Ron completed the installation of flatscreen TV’s. 2. An Electrical COC was completed at considerable cost, to meet current safety standards. 3. The generator was “plumbed in” to the 2 boards to provide emergency backup power for outages. 4. A further 2 x 20KL rain tanks to raise our capacity to harvest rain water during the drought. But the point is taken.. we have taken our eye off the ball and will look to improve the breakfast which is included in the rate. We do offer a substantial, wholesome, buffet continental breakfast which is available in the dining room comprising fruit in season, juice, yoghurt, cereals, boiled eggs, and one of the following,- muffins, or croissants, or pancakes or scones or hotcross buns with a variety of preserves and tea or coffee. Croissants are usually served with cheese and ham, and we now offer french toast, scrambled or fried eggs. But we do not offer everything on the same day but rather rotate them to give more variety through the week.

I spend 4 nights at this B&B and I really liked it. The room was spacious, nicely decorated and provided all the necessary comfort. One can tell the place was made up with a lot of love and work. Every room has a little terrace & mini garden. You can sit outside at a table or relax on a chaise longue. Lots of flowers everywhere even though it was winter there.
The breakfast provides everything you might want: cereals, toast, fruit, eggs in all forms, sweet pastries, yogourt, ....
the owners are a very nice couple, I felt more like visiting distant family :). You get good advice about almost everything, just ask for it.

I had a wonderful stay at the Cherry Tree cottage. The house is conveniently located in a verdant and safe Jo’burg neighbourhood. The property is kept immaculately clean and tidy, and the hosts are wonderfully kind and welcoming. I saw other people mention the fluctuations in the water temperature in the shower, while they exist they are no big deal. I’d return without hesitation!
